What is Mamra badam?

The AlphonsoMango.in listing describes it as raw, sun-dried, unroasted and unsalted, with origin given as Iran and Afghanistan (imported). The listing also uses the related name Gurbandi.
A Mamra kernel looks irregular. Uneven shape is normal for this variety and is not by itself a sign of poor quality.
